Abstract

A winch powered by an electric motor. A steel torroid determines the magnetic field generated by the current demand of the motor. A voltage sensitive hall effect switch is provided with a voltage input. The magnetic field detected by the steel torroid is also provided to the hall effect switch. Upon receiving the combined input of magnetic field and voltage, the hall effect switch is activated to shut off the motor. A potentiometer varies the voltage input to the hall effect switch to vary the demand of magnetic field necessary to activate the shut off function.
